[T3] 73 type 3 FI ignition condenser ?

[Keith Park]

Yes, you can see it, at least on any distributor thats not worn out
and Im sure yours are pretty spot on, hook the sensor on #3
and it should drop back 2 degrees from full centrifugal advance,
I remember seeing this on the last engine just before I headed to
Alabama when I checked the timing, and was thinking... someone is gonna
ask about this down there!  :-)

Are you sure? The difference is only 2 degrees, so it would be hard to 
differentiate from the normal "scatter." I promise to look for this, next
time I 
check my timing.

OTOH, I took a look at the Bosch memo I mentioned, and it is dated 1966, 
so no chance it could mention FI, but I also don't find a later memo.
